I'd like to know who (if any) of you plans to go to this year'sconference. Nando? Michael? Marius maybe? Olivier? I know Olivier'spaper was not accepted unfortunately. I know that Fikret is going to bethere.

As for my talks, none of them is about FlameRobin directly, but bothwill touch it. Esp. the session about cross platform development withwxWidgets and IBPP:

Using stuff from FR, I made a minimal program structure (bakefile,makefiles, etc.) that enables anyone to have a quick start when creatingnew applications with IBPP and wxWidgets. The program allows you to typethe project name, and it does search&replace on all files, giving you anempty project where you can easily add new .cpp and .h files to thebakefile.

I plan to add this as a module to flamerobin svn tree. It would becalled "template" or something like that. I hope you guys agree with this?

Once online, I'd appreciate if someone would find the time to test ifthis "minimal sample" work with MSVC and work on MacOSX, as I don't haveaccess to them.

As a result, anyone who wants to start a new project with wxWidgets andIBPP (i.e. developing cross-platform GUI app. for Firebird) would havean easy start.

[when firebird will be ready on all other architectures we will have an flamerobin build on them too , my dream is flamerobin+firebird on nokia770]

An empty cell means that there is no buildd information for that package version on that arch; this is normally because the package is arch:all or the arch has been told to ignore the package by the buildd admins. The number after a "Needs build" is the position in the queue.

its a simple tarball; when untarred, `pwd`/flamerobin/flamerobinshould just work. it was compiled on solaris 5.10 i86pc, and (if ididn't screw it up), needs "only" the following packages from thesolaris media (ie. no thirdparty dependencies):

(i sorta think anything more than core solaris includes these, atleast most of them).

tarball includes a copy of wx 2.6 and fbclient.so from firebird2.0rc4, all stripped.

basically, after i gave up on using the workshop compiler, it waspretty straightforward with gcc (the one bundled with s10);technically, wx and flamerobin itself (apart from a few trivialissues) didn't have much problem with workshop, but i horribly failedat compiling firebird with suncc, and did so many times (as an addedbonus, it seems that linking g++- and CC-compiled objects together isthe perfect recipe for disaster). the problem with that is that aslong as i can't compile firebird with workshop, there isn't any point(or even way) to do this to flamerobin. does anyone have goodconnections at firebird dev? :>

issues prevail, though; for example, asking for database propertiesimmediately crashes flamerobin. is anyone interested in looking at it?my c++-debugging skills are next to non-existent. also, if anyonewants the debug binaries, i'm happy to tar 'em up.
